Nimbus Records

Nimbus is a British record company and CD label founded in 1972 by Numa Labinsky, Michael Reynolds and Gerald Reynolds and based at Wyastone Leys near Monmouth on the border between Wales and England. It was the first company to master and press CDs in the UK, and developed and marketed CD mastering equipment. Nimbus is also known for making recordings using Ambisonic surround sound, and for transferring vocal music from the old 78rpm format and piano music from piano rolls onto vinyl and CD formats.

The company was sold to the Mirror Group in 1987, but the IPR to the Nimbus catalogue was finally reacquired by the original owners operating as Wyastone Estate Limited.
